SUNNY DISPOSITION: SUMMER BRIGHTS

You may not be ready to hit the beach just yet, but it is always good to be prepared! Get your cute beach towel before the season starts and it will start to feel like endless summer.

Trina Turk knows how to live the good life. With her Palmetto beach towel, you can too.

For basics you can buy in bulk for the beach house, turn to Land's End and their Framed Border Beach Towel. Also check out their fresh new Canvas line--very cute basics with a twist.

The 3D Op Art Towel from Coach will never get lost.

The Tortola Beach Blanket and Pillow from Milly will transport you to Capri in a snap.

STYLISH COLLABORATION: PIERRE LE TAN GETS CREATIVE WITH COACH

The French have a particular way of doing things. They always include the unexpected element of surprise or charm. When it comes to drawing interiors, wine labels and life's little moments, few capture that esprit as well as Pierre Le- Tan. He recently teamed up with Coach, creating a joyful bag and accessory collection. With beach umbrellas and cabanas, he captures the essence of summer.
